This cake recipe was given to me by my sister-in-law many years ago. It's deliciously light in texture, compatible with any meal and makes a beautiful presentation for special occasions. -Ann Pitt, Mountainside, New Jersey

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 55 min. + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

20 55 75

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 eggs, separated
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
ICING:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, well drained

Directions

Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl; make a well in the center. In another bowl, beat egg yolks until thicken and lemon-colored. Beat in the orange juice, oil, water, vanilla, and orange and lemon peels. Pour into well in dry ingredients; beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. In a bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into batter.
Transfer to an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert cake; cool completely. Loosen cake from sides of pan; remove cake and place on a serving platter.
For icing, combine the confectioners' sugar, shortening and butter until smooth. Spread over top of cake. Spoon pineapple over icing. Yield: 12 servings.

I have made this receipe several times. A long time ago you could purchase the Orange Chiffon Cake mix in the stores. But no longer. This is a delicious recipe if you like Angle Food Cake. When I make this cake I make the frosting and add orange zest with a couple tablespoons of frozen orange juice. I frost the cake and then I brown 1 1/2 cups of coconut in the oven and press into the frosting. The orange cake with the orange frosting is delicious and your guest will ask for your receipe.

This is a lovely cake all by itself, but the scrumptious icing with pineapple makes it even lovelier.
